      Those look like really comfortable practical shoes, but did you see the prices? They're roughly three times what I would consider a fair price for something like that. Especially since they don't seem to be available in stores, which means their overhead is minimal and their greed maximal.

      Good on you man! About 15 years ago I decided that if it was cheaper to buy the tools and parts than what a mechanic quoted me, I’d just buy tools and do it myself instead. Now I’m confident that I can fix anything (outside the ECU) that comes up with my cars AND I have a garage FULL of tools to get the job done. It wasn’t always easy by any measure but I love solving problems and the personal satisfaction of doing my own repairs is priceless.

    The rubber pneumatic ones are commonly used in tire shops, because they are really fast, and there already has to be a decently-sized compressor at a tire shop anyways. There is also a version that has a wider actuator and an "X" shaped platform to lift the entire car. I've also seen those actuators used to make earthquake simulators.

      Interestingly every shop I've been at in CIS countries uses floor jacks - I think it's because they're easier to manuever, without the air, and less parts to worry about. Though honestly they believe in these too much, I've never seen something like a jack stand that was shown in the beginning of the vid. They just leave cars hanging on those jacks, though these are only used for tire swaps, no one is under the car at that moment. But if it fails, the car can totally drop on the floor.

    Some bottle jacks have the top unscrewable, they have inside a threaded metal bar that if you unscew it will go out and make them a bit higher. I don't know if the threads will fail under load but for a roadside wheel change it should act better than scissor jacks. That being said, after my main jack failed and my car was stranded on stands, I got one of these and added some hockey pucks and it worked perfectly to get my car back on road.

    My '90 Dodge B-250 Van, (The older cousin to your yellow Dodge van) Still has the bumper jack. Yeah, The old style type that you would put the foot plate on, stand it up, insert into a slot on the bumper and lever it up/down. But my van is a conversion van with the high roof and the lower body skirting. That lower skirting pretty much hides the frame rails way up under there.
    - To those who have never used one, be warned: Make DAMN SURE that they are straight, and when levering on the handle, there will be a part of the stroke where you are bearing weight. Don't let go of the handle! That sumbitch will swing up with speed and nail you right in the (whatever is in it's path) The nice thing about them is that you don't have to crawl on the ground at the side of the car (potentially the side facing traffic) to use them. You just stand up at the front or rear bumper and work the jack. BUT If not positioned right they can fall over. And if they fall toward the car, you're getting a massive dent or losing a light! But I like them way better than the newer scissor jacks. Again, I don't have to crawl on the ground to use it.

    Since the test scenario was changing a wheel on the road, I'd have liked to see the air jack operated from the kind of tyre compressor you carry in the boot. Lift time would probably come down to a similar time to the scissor jack.
    I still prefer the vertical-threaded jack from my old Rover. Smooth as butter to use.

    Nitpick about the bottle jack: the pressure on both pistons is the same (except the actual stroke time you're pumping). The areas are different, that's why the force is different. Force = Pressure x Area.

      @lasskinn474 Рік тому +6

      nitpick about the pitboss one, if you just scale both of pistons bigger you also need to move more fluid, but if pitboss just has a longer stroke for the smaller surface area plunger that would work out.

      @blahorgaslisk7763 Рік тому +2

      @@lasskinn474 Longer stroke or a larger diameter of the smaller piston. Both means the volume of oil pumped with a single stroke increases and the lift cylinder will move more. This is true for both the bottle jacks and the garage jacks. But for a garage jack there's yet another way to change the lift speed as you can change the geometry for how the lift piston is connected to the lift arm. By connecting the cylinder closer to the hinge, or by making the arm longer the lift height can be increased without changing the distance the piston moves. Anyway you change these parameters it will get heavier to operate.
      There are garage jacks that have two pump cylinders. When both are engaged the arm will move twice as much as when only one is engaged. That way you can raise the jack quickly so it get contact with the car. Then when it get's heavy to pump one pump piston is disconnected and it will halve the resistance making it easier to lift the car, but it will also only lift it half the as much with each pump of the handle.

      Yeah, I do essentially the same thing. I have found that it doesn't take much to strip the threads out on those guys though. A couple years ago I bought a handful of used scissor jacks off of Facebook marketplace and modified them though, removed the threaded rod that was in there and replaced it with a much harder acme threaded rod, drilled some holes in that base piece so I could mount all of them onto 2 by 10s for a wider base support, and then welded on a custom threaded receiver that I made so I could thread on different sized lifting pucks (I made all of those too) for different types of vehicles. I use those when working on vehicles for side cash and I would be willing to bet I could have all 4 wheels off of the ground and ready for axle stands in less time than it took Nolan to raise the car with a normal scissor jack.

    That tall iron off road jack is a Hi-Lift, not just Lift. Their heritage goes back to the old Conestoga wagons. One thing it is very good at that the air jack can't do, is lift one end of the vehicle with the jack in the middle, left to right. When both wheels clear the ground, one can then push to vehicle to the side to firmer ground. The jack just falls to the side.

    You guys said that the electric scissor jack could only be used for bigger vehicles, but when I looked it up, you don’t need to use that pin to lift up a vehicle, it works just like every other scissor jack, so unless you’ve got a really low car under 6 inches, or the one I saw or 5.5 inches, I don’t think you have a problem. It goes under pretty much the same vehicles as the manual scissor jack I think.

    I think the manual scissor jack is superior for daily drivers and lowered road cars. Especially the one with the hex bolt head for lifting. Lightweight, take up little space, easy to use, will fit under lowered cars, no hydraulic fluid to leak, cheap to replace. I've used them as wheel chocks by laying them sideways, to position front control arms when doing ball joints, and to raise/lower rear arms when doing suspension. Helps when space it limited and a full size jack impedes works space. I ended up replacing the correctly named vw "widow maker" jacks in my older cars.

    I really like the segmented, shop air jack, and it's my overall choice for what I would need it for, but would never try to lift the end of the car. It doesn't have the lateral stability to do that. The electric scissor jack gets low score for me because it sounds like it would fail with just a few uses. My guess is there are similar devices with more powerful motors, or they're all the same, just different paint ;-)

    One of my parents cars has a funky half scissor jack. Like, it only has one extension instead of a diamond shape so it folds up into basically an 8" bar.
    Very compact and absolutely terrifying to use. It describes a slight arc as it lifts where a real scissor jack is perfectly vertical, which also means the load isn't perfectly centered on the boot until it reaches wheel changing height. Serviceable in a perfectly flat and level parking lot, but I'd hate to use it on the side of the road. Fortunately the car has run flats in lieu of a spare so you never have to actually use it. It's only purpose is to facilitate at home tire changes...in a perfectly flat and level parking lot with the aid of a jack stand.

    The pressure between the piston stays the same, but because of the larger surface area of the load bearing piston, the pressure can exert a much larger force on it - twice the area, twice the force.
    Now multiply that ratio with the long handle, and you need to apply very little force on the handle to lift a very heavy load.

He has a backyard buddy lift as well so for tire rotations we are able to sit the air jack on the lift, raise the lift to a nice comfortable working height, and then inflate the jack and pull the tires off. This saves us a ton of back strain and allows us too work with proper body mechanics for an efficient, fast tire swapping experience. Although i do wish his had the wheels. It has a handle and weighs about 40-55 pounds.

    Also the stability issues is only one concern, I know two people who ended up getting between when they tried to change directions but had not put the handle all the way up and it unloaded, one ended up getting smacked in the side of the face which hurt like a bitch and the other had his hand get in between and shattered several bones within. Jacked up vehicles usually can get away with a normal size bottle jack on the axle (if solid axle) or wishbone (not ideal but in a pinch). the key is finding a flat spot.
